Webpack-dev-server: "--hot:" breaks bundle assembling

[wips]

Hot modules reloading mixes up module ids for some reason. The code I get in the bundle.js is the following:

    // load the styles
    var content = __webpack_require__(301);
    if(typeof content === 'string') content = [[module.id, content, '']];
    // add the styles to the DOM
    var update = __webpack_require__(303)(content, {});
    if(content.locals) module.exports = content.locals;
    // Hot Module Replacement
    if(true) {
        // When the styles change, update the <style> tags
        if(!content.locals) {
            module.hot.accept(301301, function() {
                var newContent = __webpack_require__(301);

Obviously I don't have 301301 modules. The issue gets much worse with config.output.pathinfo = true. The code becomes broken:

// bundle.js:10086 Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
module.hot.accept(/*! !./../css-loader!./angular-material.css */ 301/*! !./../css-loader!./angular-material.css */ 301, function() {

My command line to start is: node node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server --content-base app --hot --port 9090

A part of package.json:

    "webpack": "1.13.1",
    "webpack-dev-server": "1.14.1"

If any additional information is required please don't hesitate to ping me.

Don't use --hot and the HotModuleReplacmentPlugin.

@wips, did the above answer fix your problem?

[wips]

@SpaceK33z, the code has been changed significantly since when I posted the issue. Unfortunately, I missed @sokra `s response on Jun 2. I need some time to reproduce the issue and try a fix. I will post here as soon as I have information.

Thanks guys, removing --hot has helped. Though is it very hard to find it out oneself.

@wips, this is documented in the docs, but I agree with you that it is still a bit too hard. I made #586 for this.
